Surgeons

"Each brigade shall have one Surgeon. Each regiment of Infantry shall have one Surgeon, one Assistant Surgeon, and one Hospital Steward." (War Department, General Orders No. 49, August 3, 1861). Cavalry and heavy artillery regiments typically had two Assistant Surgeons and two Hospital Stewards.

We have identified 96 Assistant Surgeons and 72 Full Surgeons, respectively, who served, credited to Vermont (not including doctors who served with the Santiary Commission or at the behest of the Governor of Vermont on medical inspection teams).
